Three of the 30 free sample questions — each one cites the exact Washington, D.C. law it is built on.
On Connecticut Ave NW a driver passes a posted limit of 25 mph, then turns into a quiet side street in Adams Morgan where nothing at all is posted along it. She holds 25 mph the whole way. Where does that leave her?
From the law:On all streets and highways, unless otherwise designated in accordance with § 2200.2, the maximum lawful speed shall be twenty miles per hour (20 mph).
Two drivers are stopped the same evening. One is doing 40 mph on an ordinary residential street in Petworth where nothing is posted; the other is doing 55 mph on a stretch of DC-295 posted at 45 mph. Neither drove badly in any other way. Which of them has committed reckless driving?
From the law:A person commits the offense of reckless driving if the person drives a motor vehicle on any highway in the District: (1) At a speed of 20 miles per hour or more in excess of the speed limit; or (2) In any other manner that displays a conscious disregard of the risk of causing property damage or bodily injury to any person.
A pedestrian steps into a crosswalk on South Capitol St, in the lane next to yours and walking toward your lane. The street is posted well above the District default. You slow to a crawl and edge past behind her without stopping. What does District law make of that?
From the law:The driver of a vehicle shall stop and remain stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross the roadway within any marked crosswalk, or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, when the pedestrian is upon the lane, or within one lane approaching the lane, on which the vehicle is traveling or onto which it is turning.
